Jozef Van Wissem scores Föllakzoid’s Garcia-Huidobro’s first movie

Domingæ Garcia-Huidobro from Föllakzoid directed her debut feature “Partir to Live” in 2012. An episodic film that reconstructs the paranormal experiences of the protagonist in a gloomy atmosphere of black and white contrasted pictures, forests, a church and figures in greytones, foggy shots, shadowplay and stroboscopic effects.

The score was created by Jozef Van Wissem who was critically acclaimed for his recent work, the soundtrack of Jim Jarmusch’s “Only Lovers Left Alive”. Now this score is going to be released on Sacred Bones Records, naturally, as not only “Obl Lovers Left Alive”s score, but Jim Jamusch’s and Jozef Van Wissem’s psychedelic rock band SQÜRL, as well as the experimental rock band Föllakzoid are all signed on Sacred Bones Records.

Jozef Van Wissem, who won the Cannes Soundtrack Award for “Only Lovers Left Alive” in 2013 about his composition: “The score of Partir to Live consists of appropriated 12 string electric guitar drone, black baroque lute mirror images and minimal electronics'”

Domingæ García-Huidobro is a Chilean director and musician, and her short film “Preludio” (2008) was screening in the Helsinki Film Festival. The debut movie Partir To Live was part of the official selection at Valdivia Film Festival and premiered internationally at All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival in Camber Sands UK in 2013. Jim Jarmusch thinks her debut feature is “A gently hallucinatory, mysterious and beautiful film”. The movie is officially released on Sacred Bones Films.
